And the morning after the American loss to Belgium in overtime — all three goals (2-1) scored after an hour and a half of grueling play in Brazil — all that Belgium-bashing back home could leave a bad taste in some mouthes.

It was a weird day in America when all of a sudden everyone started hating beer, chocolate and waffles. Belgium, after all, is a pretty inoffensive place — maybe the most scandalous thing about the country is that its most famous statue is of a little boy perhaps being too cavalier about where he relieves himself.

Yet, as the U.S. men’s national team prepared for a World Cup Sweet Sixteen match against Belgium today, here we were.

They were backed by Texas Democrat Tony Cardenas and Georgia Republican Phil Gingrey, who passed on the message.

Bojangles, a North Carolina-based southern fast food chain, was trying to get #BeatBelgiumWithBiscuits trending. Alongside a very patriotic Twitter photo of a bald eagle eyeing a Bojangles biscuit, the company wrote: “Biscuits come from amber waves of grain. Waffles come from Belgium.”
